San Diego’s Craft Revolution – From Post-War Modern to California Design reveals the important contribution of San Diego craftsmen to the post-war Southern California art scene. From the postwar period beginning in the 1940s up through the 1970s, San Diego’s Craft Revolution explores the progression from sleek modernism to unconventional handmade objects of use such as furniture, doors, jewelry and ceramics. Over 60 artists are featured in the book, including Toza and Ruth Radakovich, Rhoda Lopez, Jack Hopkins, Arline Fisch, Martha Longenecker, Ellamarie and Jackson Woolley, Larry Hunter, Kay Whitcomb and James Hubbell. Many of these San Diego-based artists received national attention and participated in major Los Angeles exhibitions, including the California Design series held in Pasadena and Los Angeles.
